These were taken at the first meeting of a group of fire spinners at Highland Farm, and will hopefully become a recurring tradition. Fire spinning is what it sounds like, the artistic/dance spinning of a flaming object. Common fire toys include staffs (wicks at each end, spun like a martial arts bow) and poi (flaming balls on chains). More images from the event are available here.

The first image is of my close friend Wolfcub, spinning a double-wicked staff. He also was kind enough to let me use his camera when I forgot mine, thanks Wolf! The second image is someone I don't really know, I'd never met him before and I forgot to get names.
